    Looks to be a pegasus like program, I didn’t see any evidence of ISP’s conducting mass surveillance on users.

    Like pegasus, predator software is a commercial surveillance tool. So it will have to be distributed in accordance to EU law, the union the companies country resides in.

    Unlikely to be a major threat to average Joe’s, but journalist and politicians beware.

    Please be considerate when publishing articles from indirect sources, third party blogs put on the tin foul hat very quickly.

      the tin foul hat

      Assuming this is a typo, I move we make it A Thing.

      (To Wear a) Tin Foul Hat: When a source misinterprets or misrepresents information with the intent to mislead. One who is spreading conspiracies vs believing them.
